Lynch laments effects of primary system

By Ken Sury | Tuesday, March 4, 2008, 10:16 AM

Sheriff Larry Lynch, who is out at Robinson City Hall greeting voters, said he thinks the interest in the Democratic presidential race is affecting the numbers of people voting Republican.

“That kills us on the down ballot, it really does,” said the sheriff, who is a Republican. He is being opposed by Randy Gates in the GOP primary. The winner will face Charles Hutyra, who is unopposed on the Democratic side, in November.
